Ep: 267 – Lions Passing Love Notes – The Detroit Lions Podcast
In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris, Case, and Jeff Risdon bring you the latest Lions news and insights in our inimitable style. This episode is full of insights and the use of big words. This is Case’s fault directly after he dropped our new favorite word, ‘obfusticate’. We cover the NFL’s rule changes, Jamaal Agnew’s position switch, Kenny Golladay’s PFF love and more – including a new “ride the fence” drop for Case.
Detroit Lions Podcast – It’s really your best bet
Do you remember the 10 second run-off in the Atlanta game? Unfortunately, we all do. Case makes the case that it likely wasn’t as impactful as people think. Chris makes the case that Case is an unmitigated ass. Can you tell that Chris wrote the show notes this time? Either way, Chris is right. We also talk about Frank Ragnow and Taylor Decker and what they mean to the Lions line and what the influences on Decker’s contract are.

Ep: 266 – Lions Looking Ready To Go – The Detroit Lions Podcast
In this episode of the podcast, Chris and Case bring you the latest Detroit Lions biggest news of the week. We take a look at the Lions 2020 schedule, speculate about whether Case could buy Matthew Stafford’s house, and talk a little Nate Burleson. We also discuss jersey numbers, take a listener’s call, and a whole lot more!
Detroit Lions Podcast – The Only Thing You Should Put In Your Ears
First we want to thank all of our listeners for giving us a week off. It’s the first week that Chris has had off in a long time – he needed it! It was great to come back and cover ground that we missed in that time. Chris and Case talk a little bit about the team and how far it’s come under Matt Patricia and Bob Quinn. How the culture seems to have finally rounded the corner and changed in their favor. They also discuss how it seems that this is the first year that the GM and Coach appear to have all of “their” guys in place. This is definitely not a team to sleep on.

Ep: 265 – Lions Post-Draft Looks – The Detroit Lions Podcast
In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by the inimitable Jeff ‘The Riz’ Risdon to get Riz’s take on the Lions draft performance. We also discuss the Lions UDFA pool and some of the amazing signings Bob Quinn pulled off to put this team together. We pay particular attention to Julian Okwara, Jonah Jackson, Logan Stenberg, Jason Huntley, and John Penisini from the draft. We follow that up with a deep dive on Hunter Bryant from the UDFA pool – a guy Riz thinks could end up our number two tight end. From there, we do a pass around the division and give our initial thoughts on how the rest of the NFC North performed in the 2020 NFL Draft.
Detroit Lions Podcast – Safer In Your Ears
Now that we’ve recovered from the draft party, it’s a good time to re-energize and step back to look at what just happened in the colder light of day. This episode does just that and Riz does a great job of bringing reality to the party. In this case, reality is a good place to be. With an episode coming in at nearly two hours, we don’t short you on content this week – and there’s a lot more yet to cover. See you next week!

Ep: 264 – Detroit Lions Draft Evaluation – The Detroit Lions Podcast
In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case break down the results of the Detroit Lions 2020 NFL Draft. Bob Quinn likely had his best draft ever as General Manager of the Detroit Lions. There were points where we were dumbfounded by his moves – but only because he was picking up talent in places we totally didn’t expect. Mr. Quinn did an excellent job of finding the best players available to fill key areas of need. We think that’s what made this draft so darn good for the Lions. While unlikely, it is possible that every player the Lions drafted could play this year – that’s a great draft. We even think there’s a UDFA who is almost guaranteed a roster position. Well done, Mr. Quinn. Very well done.

Not just player positions, but the state of Bob Quinn’s draft room and quarterbacks who are lower than top three on the list. They also discuss why it sucks to be Bob Quinn this year and what the Buccaneers look like after picking up Rob Gronkowski. What might it take to have OJ Howard in the Lions future, and what type of effect could he have on the team? We cover that and take your calls on the episode that is your bridge to the 2020 NFL Draft.

Ep: 262 – Is It Tua Late For The Lions? – The Detroit Lions Podcast
In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Jeff Risdon and they discuss all the Lions and NFL news of the week including the many angles of Tua Tagovailoa, the possible demise of the XFL, and Chris’s deep draft crush.
Detroit Lions Podcast Still Kicking It Live
Another live stream broadcast, but this time without taking phone calls, the guys discuss the many ways in which Tua Tagovailoa could impact the Lions draft strategy and the draft overall. Everything Lions draft depends on who pulls the trade trigger on a quarterback, we dive into who might be ready to make that move, and why. We also talk about how the trade frenzy might put the Lions in the catbird seat and the limit to what they’d give up. After all, trading down too far could spell the end of the current regime.
From there we dig into Chris’s later round draft crush KJ Hill. Chris put together a video of the footage he shot of KJ at the Senior Bowl, and it’s well worth your time. KJ will sparkle as a slot receiver in the NFL – whoever gets him will be very happy with their selection.

Ep: 261 – Consensus NFL Mock Draft Crossover – The Detroit Lions Podcast
In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case are joined by Jeff Risdon, Scott Bischoff, and Erik Schlitt to come to a consensus on the first 35 picks in the 2020 NFL Draft. Do the Lions trade down? Is it Chase Young, Jeffrey Okudah, Isaiah Simmons, or some other surprise?
Detroit Lions Podcast Brings The 2020 Draft Alive
We’ve put together the best and brightest minds in the Detroit Lions space to come together on a consensus 2020 NFL mock draft. We work through each pick and force each host to justify their selection and argue for their pick until the group comes to an agreement. In this exercise, a majority must approve trades, and they must be realistic. Chris plays the role of moderator and holds the deciding vote in case of a tie.
We break down every trade, it’s ins and outs, and justify them with realistic values. There is no better way to dive into the 2020 NFL Draft. We’ll break down the thinking behind each pick as well as why certain choices do or don’t make sense.
Jeff, Scott, Eric, and Case bring their ‘A’ game and don’t cut corners on this effort. There are big discussions all the way through pick #35 (the Lions second round pick). If you want to learn, this podcast will fill you with tons of information. If you are super into draft research, this will help you think through your positions and present a number of counter arguments. An opportunity to validate or re-evaluate your thinking is a golden one.

Ep: 260 – Detroit Lions Talk With Scott Bischoff – The Detroit Lions Podcast
In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by WJR Radio Podcast co-host Scott Bischoff to break down the latest and greatest Lions news.
Detroit Lions Podcast Kills The Jarrad Davis Trade Rumor
Chris and Scott shut down the trade talk around Jarrad Davis shortly after Lions GM Bob Quinn quickly reacted to those rumors the same way. Evidently being cooped up inside is driving some members of the media a little loopy and they’re making things up out of whole cloth. We also discuss Sam Martin’s move to join Jeff Driskel at the Denver Broncos. Add a punter to the Lions list of needs.
Matthew Stafford and his wife Kelly are two of the most generous people in Detroit and we discuss just how great having them in our lives really is. We also talk about the inevitable place in the future when we have to move on from Matthew and how difficult it’s going to be.
There’s also the whole free agency, trade, and Darius Slay thing to discuss. We cover it all with Scott’s special angles and insights.

Ep: 259 – 2020 Detroit Lions Free Agency and Draft – The Detroit Lions Podcast
In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Case and Jeff ‘The Riz’ Risdon to break down the latest Detroit Lions Free Agency moves. We weigh in on Darius Slay’s recent comments, and talk about a shift to 4-3 defense while taking calls.
Detroit Lions Podcast Gets Slayed By Darius Slay
Literally 2 hours after our last show in which we praised Darius Slay’s maturity, he proved us wrong. Slay opened up about a situation early in his relationship with Coach Patricia in which Coach used some profanity. Slay took it very personally, when it was likely meant differently. After that, Slay harbored his anger for at least two years before letting loose on the radio and taking a few shots at Coach Patricia on the way out the door. Effectively, he set the place on fire as he left. Obviously nothing good could come of Slay’s comments, but here we are.
The Detroit Lions Podcast also discusses Free Agency signings, the possibility of moving to a 4-3 defense, and take your calls!
